Kona Dive Report with Wanna Dive

[riftvalley84]

We have just finished our trip to Kona where we (2 adults, 2 teens) did 14 dives with Wanna Dive. We choose Wanna Dive because they are a small operation (maximum 6 divers). We were completely satisfied with Steve from Wanna Dive and his crew. They are very laid back and let you have a really long bottom time - most of our dives were just over 60 minutes (the shortest was 55 minutes and the longest 76 minutes). Another thing we really liked was their knowledge of marine life as they were able to tell us the name of anything we did not know. One of the highlights was hearing the humpback whales singing on our 1st dive and then seeing them when we got back on the boat. Our kids really enjoyed the night dives (we did 3) and we saw two eels catching a fish, one eel who caught an octopus and at least 5 other octopuses. We also enjoyed the sandwich & drinks they provided between dives

I would definitely recommend Wanna Dive to anyone looking for a good dive operation on the big island. Thanks Steve, Bob & Cathy for making our trip to Kona so memorable! Scuba diving in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii with Wanna Dive. Boat diving charters, classes, intro dives.

Gonna be in Kona from April 11 through 25th. I will give them a call and see if we can work something out.

Thanks for the positive review. I had been to their web site and am considering them.

im coming down to Kona next Oct. the good thing about small shops is you're less likely to get the dive op trying to reschedule u to death so he can fill his boat. ill definitely consider these guys when im ready to make my reservation.

Grover: If you're looking for a place to stay consider Kona Ocean Villa the vacation rental we have.

For diving I also highly recommend Wanna Dive. We've been diving with Steve for many years. He has a top notch operation and I have had my best dives ever with them. A standout was last Wednesday when we had a 50 minute dolphin encounter - amazing! You'll have as much bottom time as you can manage and will see a lot of stuff.
